Thread: Current ODBC driver fails on Win2K
Hi all, I had problems yesterday trying to run the ODBC driver on Windows 2000 - it installed OK, but my app (written in Delphi) then failed with a "Catastrophic failure" message. The same app and the same driver worked fine on my development machine running Windows Me. I removed the drived and replaced it with an older version (version 6.5) and it then worked fine. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? --Ray. --------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell http://www.iol.ie/~rod/organ rod@iol.ie The Irish Pipe Organ Page ---------------------------------------------------------

Which version of the ODBC driver did you install ? Please try the latest driver at http://w2422.nsk.ne.jp/~inoue/. regards, Hiroshi Inoue

I'll try the .10 version and see what happens. --Ray. --------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell http://www.iol.ie/~rod/organ rod@iol.ie The Irish Pipe Organ Page ---------------------------------------------------------

I found in any case that when I tried to add persistent fields to my ClientDataSets (at the client end of the app) that it did not pick up the fields already added to the middle-tier datasets in the way that you'd expect, so I went back to using Borland's TQuery and ODBC. --Ray --------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell http://www.iol.ie/~rod/organ rod@iol.ie The Irish Pipe Organ Page ---------------------------------------------------------

hi all:
Is your ODBC driver the latest driver because
the latest ODBC driver I had works fine on a Win2K.
Anyway, why don't you consider using the
open source ZeosDBO components in Delphi for accessing
a PostgreSQL db, it uses the native libpq and is generally faster.
I do see the reason why you're using ODBC.
